With changes in comparison to years gone by and a return to a traditional starting point at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, the provisional 2023 World Superbike calendar promises intense action from the start.
Eyes have already started to turn towards 2023 in the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship despite two rounds left of the 2022 season, and another piece of next year’s rider line-up has fallen into place.

While Spaniard Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) may have one hand on the trophy, with a strong chance of wrapping up the Championship in Race 1 of Mandalika next weekend, Toprak Razgatlioglu is trailing fiercely behind by 82 points in the Championship standings with two rounds remaining in the 2022 season.
Reigning Champion Dominique Aegerter is now potentially one win away from becoming a two-time World Supersport Champion.
The titanic trio were at it again in Argentina, putting on a show for an extraordinary crowd attendance of over 78,000 fans – marking this has the highest attended WorldSBK round since 2019.
Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) is once again leaving the weekend behind him further extending his Championship lead. With wins in both Race 1 and Race 2, and a 2nd in Superpole, Baustista extends his lead out to 82 points ahead of Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK).
